Objective
The aim of the project is the organization and demonstration of a cycle for picking and transforming the fruit-trees pruning residues in order to make easier their re-use for thermic energy production . Annual energy recovered is about 867 toe and payback time is 3 years.
The cycle of harvesting-transforming and briquettes making of fruit -trees pruning residues (1,2 t/ha), concern an area of 3. 200 ha
. The pruning residues are side-delivered between the tree rows to increase the working capacity of the baling machine; the bales are left of the field surface where a bales picker-loader picks up and loads them in a large case placed on is back-side. Using this machine the bales are transferred to the collection centre where ,after a short period of time, the biomass is conditioned.
The conditioning process begins with the residues size reduction by an hammer-mill. After the milling, the biomass is artificially dried in order to reduce the humidity of the wood below the 15 % . At the end of this process biomass is densified in structures, called briquettes, of 1200-1400 kg/m3 in density. The last operation is the briquettes packing to make easier the commercialization. This cycle is realised using the following machines:
1 rake-machine, 2 picking/bales making machines (one for low -density bales and the other for high-density ones), 1 bales picking loading machine, 1 hammer-mil for reducing biomass particles size, 1 drum-drier for drying milled biomass, 1 briquettator for transforming the biomass in high density structures (briquettes).
